Chapter 12 Strength Detective

Beside the precipitous cliffs, even the slightest movement of a foot felt like walking in the clouds.

Frey's steps seemed to challenge the boundaries of death as he stood at the edge of the precipice.

Looking down, the rugged rock walls resembled the body of a giant being sliced and cut, with only a few sparse plants like scars. The bottom of the valley was faintly visible through the clouds, occupied by a torrent of rushing rapids.

Carelessly falling down would inevitably result in being smashed into meat paste.

Even with a death-avoidance spell, one would quickly die from severe injuries and immobility.

And so.

The detective gazed at the cliff, seemingly observing something without saying a word, or perhaps already unsure of how to proceed.

Because anyone standing behind him knew that there was nothing to observe on this cliff!

Everything revealed the cruelty to the challenger's side.

Even though the detective had previously gathered each challenger's written profession information in the library in an almost private chat manner, within everyone's sight.

It seemed that there was still no information to make inferences.

The traitor was disguised flawlessly.

If there was no progress, they could only wait until tonight when the traitor began to act for their mission objective, and after the first round of bloody game with them, it would be possible to grasp key clues and continue to advance the investigation.

In such a passive situation, if the detective was killed on the first night, almost everything would be over.

And even if the detective didn't die, there was a high probability that someone would die tragically tonight.

Fear permeated everyone's hearts. At this moment, they finally abandoned any侥幸 (jiǎoxìng -僥倖; lucky) mentality and were convinced that this shadow world was destined to be a grueling five days and five nights.

A full two minutes passed.

The challengers looked at Detective Frey, wondering what he intended to do, standing in front of the cliff for so long.

Could this detective really be a fool with no ideas?

"Detective, what should we do next...?"

Finally, the young master of the Canberra Kingdom's Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but ask.

In fact, Frey's previous behavior of only pursuing efficiency and inspecting the structure of the castle at the fastest speed, even quickly skipping over any places that might become clues, had made many people panic or harbor doubts.

Hearing this, Frey observed the cliff for a while longer.

As if finally confirming something.

He turned around and asked, looking at everyone:

"Alright, you all told me your professions earlier, right? Does anyone want to change it?"

Frey's words made people's hearts tighten.

The profession represented by the identity can only be possessed by non-traitors, and is provided to normal challengers with a little ability to confront the traitors in terms of information.

In the professional descriptions that 11 people conveyed to the detective in the library earlier, two people must also be lying, because the traitors do not have the identity and ability given by the shadow world at all.

They didn't know what Frey wanted to do.

Although identity is indeed an important inference factor.

But the problem is that the identity has both positive and negative effects, and there are too many interference items. The mechanism of the shadow world determines that Frey cannot infer any flaws in the identity through communication on the first day!

Looking at Frey's momentum now, how does it seem like he is about to find the answer?

Everyone quickly nodded, confirming that the identity they told Frey was undoubtedly true.

Frey took off his coat and tied it around his waist, and carried his bag:

"The vampires are extremely strict in controlling humans in order to prevent human organizations from launching underground church rebellions... I remember the lawyer said that everyone needs to register their identity information when entering the city-state, which means that before this shadow world begins, everyone's identity and profession should have been registered in the city."

Frey sneered,

"I'm climbing down the mountain now, then climbing up to the other side. When I go to the city-state to check whether the professions of you people can match, I will naturally know which two people are lying."

The strongest detective often uses the most unadorned method of investigation.

The sense of power on his body, and his lithe figure, didn't seem to be joking at all.

The detective is going to use his extraordinary strength, physical strength, and climbing skills to go to the city-state to directly find the answer!

"???"

This was Hyperion.

"???"

This was the other challengers at the edge of the cliff.

"???"

These were the students watching the live broadcast in front of the open-air giant screen in Gera Memorial Square.

"Damn, Frey!"

"Is strength detective the meta now?"

The voices of the students watching the battle in the real world rang out in bursts.

They finally understood why Ranch and Frey were both people with unique brains, but Frey was judged by the shadow world as the person most likely to find the traitor!

Because Frey's chance of finding the traitor is almost 100%, he only needs a fixed time to go up and down the mountain!

On the screen.

At the edge of the steep cliff.

The strong wind blew from the depths of the valley, swirling Frey's clothes, as if wanting to carry him to fly.

"Wait for me for two days, and I will come back with the answer."

Frey's words were extremely certain, and he said to Ranch and Hyperion at the moment when he was about to turn around and tumble down the cliff.

"Well, go ahead, don't worry."

Ranch and Frey met eyes, and the corners of their mouths trembled slightly.

Their eyes met, like two silent lake surfaces, each reflecting their trust in each other.

Then, Frey unhesitatingly tumbled down the cliff and quickly climbed down, disappearing between the rocks and thorns, the sound of the wind and the dense fog.

"..."

All the challengers looked at Frey's heaven-defying detective behavior, and for a moment they only felt like something was stuck in their throats.

They wanted to say something but didn't know how to open their mouths.

"As expected of Detective! He's really too strong!"

Finally, the young master of the Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but exclaim.

As if they had temporarily forgotten the crisis, they were quite excited to have found a savior.

The other challengers gradually seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although this detective is very bizarre.

But this terrifying and bloody killing game.

From this moment on, the nature has changed!

It is no longer the challengers who need to be nervous.

But the traitors are going to be sweating profusely.

Two days later, the great detective will return to the castle with the answer.

And the traitors can't kill the detective at all, because the detective directly disappeared from the map.

Then in the remaining 11 people now.

Everyone has nothing to suspect anymore.

The atmosphere instantly became harmonious.

Whoever wants to run, whoever has murderous intentions, whoever is suspiciously behaving at night, is the traitor.

The two-day death countdown has directly fallen on the heads of the traitors!

They must choose the most aggressive and risky way to complete their rebel mission goals under high mental pressure before the detective returns, otherwise everything will be over!

Moreover.

Outside the shadow world, on the Gera Memorial Square of the Ikrite Academy.

All the students watching the battle knew.

The traitors may not realize it at this moment.

What is truly terrible is——

They are going to live under the same roof as Principal Ranch in this mansion, and spend two harmonious and loving days and nights together!
